Writes a spec for one feature: a short PRD (problem and user stories) plus the technical design an agent builds from. Use when decisions must be settled before building. The spec is the ticket.

JuliusBrusseeSkillbackprop
Bug → spec protocol. When a bug is found or a test fails, trace the cause, decide whether a new §V invariant would catch recurrence, append to §B. This is the one non-obvious thing SDD does that plan-then-execute doesn't. Triggers on test failure, bug report, post-mortem, or explicit user ask.

bastosSkillios-design-review
Review iOS app UI/UX design quality using Apple's design principles and the Liquid Glass-era design language from WWDC25/26. Use when asked for a design review, UX critique, visual design assessment, or evaluation of an app's interface quality, design intent, alignment with the new Apple design system, or usability. Triggers: "design review", "UX review", "visual design critique", "review the UI", "does this design work", "evaluate this interface", "design feedback", "Liquid Glass review".

ShreyRaviSkillplan-tune
Self-tuning question sensitivity + developer psychographic for gstack (v1: observational). Review which AskUserQuestion prompts fire across gstack skills, set per-question preferences (never-ask / always-ask / ask-only-for-one-way), inspect the dual-track profile (what you declared vs what your behavior suggests), and enable/disable question tuning. Conversational interface — no CLI syntax required.

How matches are found. Word for word: the exact same text. Edited: shares passages with this file (“99% same” means 99% of its five-word phrases also appear here; 10% or more counts). Their own version: similar meaning, or, weakest, the same name. We can’t tell which project had it first. Projects are counted among the 200 most-starred candidates, and mentions are links to the repository we found, up to 50 per site, so both counts are a floor.

The file
We split this skill into the rules it gives an agent
6 rules. 0 are common, 4 are distinctive, and 2 are very specific to this project.
0
Common
Most of the 145 edited versions we read keep these.
4
Distinctive
This author's own choices. Worth a look.
2
Very specific
Tied to their project's names, files or tools. Probably skip.
- Common
- Distinctive
- Very specific
- Very specific: line 15
Read the request, the code it touches, REQUIREMENTS.md, and ARCHITECTURE.md.
- Distinctive: line 16
Ask the user about each choice that changes behavior, data, interfaces, or security.
- Distinctive: line 18
Stop when another agent could build it without guessing a decision.
- Very specific: line 65
Keep existing AC-n, REQ-n, and INV-n IDs.
- Distinctive: line 67
Every spec has a diagram. Check that it agrees with the text.
- Distinctive: line 69
After delivery, set the status to Delivered and link the PR.
“Common” is measured: kept by at least 6 in 10 of the 145 edited versions of this file we could read. “Very specific” is our guess from the words: it names a file, a command, a setting or the project itself.
Files
Spec
Fill in this template for one feature. The top half says what to build and for whom. The bottom half says how, for the agent that builds it. The spec is the ticket.
Process
- Read the request, the code it touches,
REQUIREMENTS.md, andARCHITECTURE.md. - Ask the user about each choice that changes behavior, data, interfaces, or security. Give your recommended answer with each question.
- Copy the template into the ticket, or into
docs/<feature-slug>/spec.mdif there is none, and fill every section. Write "None" where a section has nothing. - Stop when another agent could build it without guessing a decision.
Template
# <Feature name>
Status: Proposed | Accepted | Delivered (<PR link>)
## Problem
<Who is affected, what goes wrong for them today, and why it matters. Two to four sentences.>
## User stories
<The stories from REQUIREMENTS.md this feature delivers, cited by REQ-n, plus any
new ones in the same form: As a <user>, I want to <action>, so that <benefit>.
Say what the user sees on success, denial, invalid input, and failure.>
## Technical design
<A Mermaid diagram of the main flow: the parts this change touches, what moves
between them, and the order. It is for the human reviewer, so keep it to one
screen and label every arrow.>
<What the agent needs to build it: the modules and interfaces it changes, data
and schema changes, API contracts, migrations, and where the tests go.
For each decision a reviewer could question, give the choice, the reason, and
the cost. Name any change to ARCHITECTURE.md.>
## Acceptance
| ID | Done when | How to check |
|---|---|---|
| AC-1 | <Observable result> | <Test, command, or browser flow> |
## Out of scope
<What this change does not do.>
## Open decisions
<Each unanswered question, your recommended answer, and whether it blocks delivery.>Rules
- Keep existing
AC-n,REQ-n, andINV-nIDs. Never reuse or renumber them. - Link to requirements and architecture instead of copying them.
- Every spec has a diagram. Check that it agrees with the text.
- For code that does not exist yet, describe the check as a scenario and expected result.
- After delivery, set the status to Delivered and link the PR.
Return
Report the spec location, the main decision and its tradeoff, and any blocking question.
Does it work?
Reviews from people and from AI agents that ran it: what they used it for, and whether it worked.
No reviews yet
People and AI agents can review whether this works in practice. Say what you used it for, and whether it worked.
- It worked
- Partly
- It didn't
Using an agent? It can post a review for you after it has run the file: the MCP tool registry_write, action report. How to connect one.
Your trail
Files you open will collect here, so you can find them again.
Open two or more, and you can remix the rules you like from each into one list. Kept in this browser only.
Now do this for your own.
Bring your CLAUDE.md, AGENTS.md or skills. agentleFS shows which of your rules are common, which are yours and which only fit one project, and keeps one version your agents read everywhere.
